Pure Yang Supreme Treasure
When Chen Mobai opened the ancient version of the Pure Yang Scroll, he found that it was written entirely in classical Chinese, and many of the terms were industry jargon such as "lead and mercury embracing the primordial essence." With his current level of understanding, he could only comprehend about one or two tenths of it.
Moreover, the techniques, spells, and Magic Artifact are all written in a mixed manner, and the layout is not very user-friendly.
After Chen Mobai read through the entire book, he finally found all the chapters in the Pure Yang Scroll ancient book that mentioned Magic Artifact.
They are the Pure Yang Sword, Pure Yang Mirror, Pure Yang Bell, Pure Yang Cauldron, Pure Yang Immortal Robe, and Pure Yang Treasure Bead.
Of all these, the one that most captivated Chen Mobai was the Pure Yang Treasure Bead.
Once this magical artifact is cultivated to its peak, it can transform into Second Nascent Soul. If it can absorb enough Xiantian Pure Yang Purple Qi, it can even evolve into Second Nascent Soul, which is equivalent to an incarnation of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
To refine this magic weapon, one needs a spirit pearl with the Yang Fire Attribute, which is fairly common, but at most, the resulting artifact will only reach the Fourth Grade and cannot be transformed into Second Nascent Soul.
If one wishes to reach the pinnacle, one needs a spiritual pearl containing Innate Dao Rhyme, so that it can absorb Xiantian Pure Yang Purple Qi.
Chen Mobai definitely wanted to get it right the first time, but unfortunately, even in the Eastern Wasteland, they had never heard of such materials.
After reading the introduction of the Pure Yang Treasure Bead, he looked at the other five Pure Yang Supreme Treasure and was even more excited.
In ancient times, cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll carried a mirror in their left hand and a sword in their right, wore immortal robes, held Treasure Pearl in their mouths, had Golden Bell on their heads, and a precious cauldron hanging from their feet, a style known as the "Pure Yang Set".
A cultivator with the Pure Yang Set is undoubtedly invincible among those of the same cultivation level, because they have a lot of equipment and are completely flawless.
Moreover, this set of magical artifacts is also very helpful for Undergo Tribulation, as it can effectively restrain both Heavenly Tribulation and Heart Demon.
However, since the Immortal Sect Era, very few Pure Yang Scroll cultivators have been able to be so extravagant. Although Ancestor Yuanyang also mastered six Pure Yang Set, only his sword was at the Fifth Order.
Because the sword was this ancestor's Natal Magic Tool, it could be upgraded along with the cultivator's realm.
After reading the introduction to the Pure Yang Set, Chen Mobai was itching to get his hands on one. He had the resources of the Sky River Realm, so perhaps he could try getting one when his cultivation level was higher? But that was a matter for the future. Right now, his priority was to determine his own Natal Magic Tool.
This required careful consideration, so he wondered if he could borrow the ancient copy of the Pure Yang Scroll and take a good look at it.
"This is a photocopy; you can borrow it."
The person in charge of managing the Library at the Wuqi Dao Academy was a Foundation Establishment teacher nearing retirement. He glanced at the ancient Pure Yang Scroll, nodded, and then took Chen Mobai's Student ID to begin the borrowing process.
"If you are looking for Magic Artifact with the Yang Fire Attribute, there is a book called ' Complete Magic Artifacts IV ' compiled by the principal and his team on the third floor of the Library. It contains all of these."
Borrowing books requires filling out a reason, so Chen Mobai said he was considering the matter of Treasure Embryo. Then, the Library, who was also from the Artifact Refining Department, gave him a suggestion.
After thanking him, Chen Mobai immediately went to borrow the book as well.
"The Complete Magic Artifacts" is published by the Wuqi Dao Academy and consists of nine volumes. The fourth volume is entirely composed of Magic Artifact with the Yang Fire Attribute.
After looking through them, Chen Mobai also found many things that moved him.
Examples include the Nine Fire Blaze Dragon Cover, the Five Fire Seven Plume Fan, the Heavenly Divine Fire Pillar, the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, the Purple Flame Golden Lamp, the Fire Spirit Mysterious Bead, the Beacon Fire Cushion, and so on.
After finishing reading the Complete Magic Artifacts IV, Chen Mobai went to look at the Pure Yang Set.
Suddenly I'm having trouble making decisions.
He was used to asking his teacher for help or searching for information online when he encountered difficulties. Now that he was suddenly asked to make a decision on his own, he was really overwhelmed and found it hard to choose.
He stood at the window of the wooden cabin, looking out at the green forest and then up at the Villa on the mountaintop where he held many fond memories. He took a deep breath.
Chen Mobai opened the door and walked into the depths of the small mountain. In the fresh air, his thoughts began to become more and more active.
He carefully considered all his strengths and weaknesses, and then, based on his own conscience, felt that it was better to avoid his weaknesses.
After all, after graduation, he will definitely focus his main energy on the Eastern Wasteland, where all the cultivators are Spell Duel fighters. If he has any weaknesses, he could easily be targeted and taken away.
In terms of attack, his swordsmanship is at its peak.
In terms of defense, he also possesses numerous Second Grade- and Third Grade Magic Tool, meaning that none of his peers can pose a threat to him.
As for his Spiritual Sense, he only has the protection of the Great Camellia Flower. Last time, he had already exhausted a lot of its power by blocking the Nether Envoy's Body Snatching outside his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness. He didn't know if he could block it again next time.
There is another consideration.
That is, after breaking through to the Major Realm after Foundation Establishment, there is Inner Demon Calamity, and Chen Mobai is not very confident in himself.
Moreover, the successor of the Divine Machine Mansion said that he would face Three Tribulations in his Core Formation. Although Chen Mobai had made targeted improvements, his union with Meng Huang'er could not guarantee that he could truly break through to the Core Formation level of Spiritual Sense. He still needed to take further precautions.
Therefore, he wanted to refine a magical artifact that could suppress Heart Demon and protect the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness of Consciousness, thus solving this problem once and for all.
After selection, the next items are the Pure Yang Bell from the Pure Yang Set and the Fire Jade Heart Lotus from the Complete Magic Artifacts.
Among these, the Fire Jade Heart Lotus is relatively easy to obtain, requiring only a jade stone with the Yang Fire Attribute and a Red Lotus that grows deep within a volcano.
Chen Mobai could try to trade a piece of Thousand Year Warm Jade with the Blowing Snow Palace for a piece of Yang-attribute jade. As for volcanic Red Lotus, it can also be found deep within the Myriad Treasures Cave, but the exchange requires a lot of academic credits.
The Third Grade Red Lotus requires 200 credits.
However, if Chen Mobai puts together enough credits by the end of this year, he will have enough credits.
But compared to the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, he wanted the Pure Yang Bell even more, even though the two Magic Artifact had almost the same function.
However, the main material of Fire Jade Heart Lotus, warm jade, may expose the Turtle Treasure, and its potential for improvement is limited.
The Pure Yang Bell, however, has the potential to form a Pure Yang Set, offering huge room for future improvement.
The materials for the Pure Yang Bell are relatively difficult to collect, and since it is to be made by a Nascent Soul cultivator, the origin of the materials must be clear. It is best to purchase the main material for making the bell Third Grade Red Copper, from the Immortal Sect.
Chen Mobai checked the price online and found that if he wanted to refine the Pure Yang Bell, he might need to spend nearly 20 million Merit Points to buy Red Copper.
Moreover, this Third Grade Red Copper is a product controlled by the Immortal Sect, and even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like him cannot buy it.
However, if the Pure Yang Bell is chosen as the Treasure Embryo, Venerable Cheng Xuan and Master Che Yucheng should be able to help, right?
If all else fails, you can choose the same method as Ming Yihua: open a similar bell-shaped Magic Artifact from the Artifact Nurturing Sphere and have the principal modify it. This would save a lot of material costs.
With this in mind, Chen Mobai temporarily regarded the Pure Yang Bell as his first target for the development of his Treasure Embryo.
After making his choice, all his worries vanished.
After calling Ming Yihua to express his gratitude, Chen Mobai once again entered the process of adjusting the Formless Puppet.
As it turns out, the pinnacle of this Immortal Sect Puppetry Technique is indeed extraordinary, and they encountered all sorts of problems during the debugging process.
However, once Chen Mobai fully comprehended the situation, he overcame and resolved each problem one by one. The only issues were things like replacing parts, which cost another one or two million Merit Points. All of these were recorded in Zhou Tiangong's account.
During this period, Wenren Xuewei also maintained long-term video connections with them, because the materials for bionics could only be cultivated and produced at the Goumang Dao Academy.
Some animals that needed to be retrained were immediately arranged by Chen Mobai after she placed the order, and then airlifted over as quickly as possible.
It was originally expected to be completed by the end of June, but it was delayed until the end of August.
However, no one complained, because they could see the Formless Puppet becoming more and more perfect every day.
When it was finally completed, seeing the expressionless, human-sized Puppetry standing on the ground in the middle of the studio, Chen Mobai and the other two, along with Wenren Xuewei on the other end of the video, all showed satisfied smiles.
"Let's try starting it up."
Zhou Tiangong took out a Spirit-Infused Spirit Stone by the immortal Immortal Sect, placed it on the Puppetry's head with practiced ease, and then inputted a Qi Refining technique into it, beginning the process of Foundation Establishment Simulation.
In the middle of the chaotic workshop, filled with all sorts of parts and tools, the faceless, eye-filled, and forehead-covered Formless Puppet began to become transparent, and then its meridians, bones, and internal organs emerged.
Amidst the tense expressions of the four, the number dial in the doll's left eye began to slowly rotate, moving from "zero" to "one".
It quickly turned into "nine" and began to simulate the Foundation Establishment process.
Seeing this, the four of them couldn't help but feel happy and gave each other a high five.
After more than half a year of hard work, we have finally achieved perfect results today.
"Thank you for your hard work, three junior students."
Although Wenren Xuewei was not physically present, she felt the same way. She smiled at the three of them with narrowed eyes and clapped her hands gently.
"You've worked so hard, senior."
Although Wenren Xuewei only came three or four times, without her help at the Goumang Dao Academy, the progress of this Formless Puppet would probably have been delayed by one or two years.
"Senior, come and celebrate with us too. The day after tomorrow, we'll go to the Immortal Sect Professional Certification Department to apply for certification of the Formless Puppet. If we pass, the four of us will get our Third-Grade Puppeteer Certificate."
Chen Mobai extended an invitation to Wenren Xuewei on the other end of the video call. She nodded slightly, knowing that she definitely had to be there for such an important occasion.
Afterwards, Chen Mobai filmed a video of the Formless Puppet in operation and sent it to Che Yucheng, along with a sentence.
Teacher, I did it!
In the office, Che Yucheng was reading a newspaper when he glanced at the image on his phone screen. He couldn't help but gasp, and then an indescribable sense of relief appeared on his aged face.
Well done, you're ready to graduate.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai smiled, but he remained humble.
There is still so much I need to learn.
Che Yucheng chuckled and watched the video of the Formless Puppet in operation over and over again. Finally, he couldn't resist anymore and went to Chen Mobai's studio in person.
"Teacher Che!"
The three people present were all Che Yucheng's students, and they all showed him great respect.
"You are all doing well."
Che Yucheng touched the Wuxiang doll, which, although still somewhat lacking in refinement, was basically Formless Puppet, and looked on with satisfaction.
"The professional certification for Third Grade Puppetry all require my signature, because I am the authority on Formless Puppet. You will definitely get the Third Grade certificate without any problems."
After personally inspecting the items, Che Yucheng said something to Chen Mobai and the others that made them even more overjoyed.
When Wenren Xuewei arrived, the four of them took the Formless Puppet to the Immortal Sect for authentication, which immediately alarmed Hong Mengkui, the Cave Master of Chicheng Cave Heaven.
The Third Grade certification for Puppetry is different from other Third Grade titles; the only standard is the Formless Puppet.
The Formless Puppet is something only the Four Great Dao Academies possess; even the Ten Great Academies cannot create it.
With this certificate, as long as the four of them are willing to refine the Formless Puppet, the Ten Great Academies are willing to offer an astronomical sum to invite them to join them.
However, these four people, three of whom graduated from the Wuqi Dao Academy and one of Evergreen Dao Seed from the Goumang Dao Academy, will definitely not go to the Ten Great Academies.
"You four wait a moment, I'll go and call Che Yucheng over to have it appraised."
As expected, after Hong Mengkui tried out some of the functions of the Formless Puppet, he had them sit down and then personally called Che Yucheng.
On the other end of the phone, Che Yucheng pretended to be incredulous, shocked that a junior in the Immortal Sect could actually refine Formless Puppet.
"Oh, so it was completed by my disciple. No wonder."
When Che Yucheng arrived, he looked at Chen Mobai and said something as if he had just realized something.
Hong Mengkui, standing to the side, looked uncomfortable upon hearing this.
On the contrary, the leaders of the Immortal Sect Professional Certification Department immediately followed Che Yucheng's words and praised him, saying that the Wuqi Dao Academy truly deserved to be the number one university in the Immortal Sect, and that Chen Mobai was indeed worthy of being called a Nascent Potential for Spirit Transmutation...
After a barrage of praise, Che Yucheng demonstrated all the functions of the Formless Puppet in front of everyone, including performing magic, divination, cultivation, Spell Duel, and protection.
After confirming that everything was in order, Che Yucheng filled a form with checkmarks, signed his name, and affixed his professional seal.
Chen Mobai took a look and realized that it was actually Fourth-tier Puppeteer.
"The Immortal Sect only has two Fourth-tier Puppeteer, namely Teacher Che Yucheng and Master Xinji of our Goumang Dao Academy. This was to reward them for completing the epoch-making work, the Formless Puppet. After Master Xinji passed away, only Teacher Che Yucheng remained."
Seeing the puzzled look on Chen Mobai's face, Wenren Xuewei, who was standing to the side, explained.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked enlightened.
He had heard about this matter before.
"What kind of person was Master Xinji?"
Seeing that Che Yucheng was chatting with Hong Mengkui after verifying the Formless Puppet, while the people from the Immortal Sect Professional Certification Department were making the Third-Grade Puppeteer Certificate and seals for the four of them, Chen Mobai also started chatting with Wenren Xuewei.
"He was a genius. Back then, among the students of the Four Great Dao Academies and his generation, no one could rival him, just like you are now."
Chen Mobai became curious upon hearing this.
He is now at the Potential for Spirit Transmutation.
"Venerable Yuanxu of the Sky Mending Dao Academy entered the academy in the same year as Master Xinji, but at that time he was known as the eternal second place because he could not compare to Master Xinji."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked shocked.
Venerable Yuanxu? He is the only recipient of the "Flying Immortal Award" in the Immortal Sect in the last thousand years, and is known as someone whose mind is at the level of a half-god-level being.
This Master Xinji was actually able to suppress this one.
That's comparable to his Potential for Spirit Transmutation.
"The passing of such a hero is truly a great loss to the Immortal Sect."
Chen Mobai sighed. Logically speaking, since Master Xinji was more outstanding than Venerable Yuanxu in his youth, he should have also Nascent Formation stage.
However, he stopped at the Golden Core stage and passed away thirty years ago.
This illustrates that a child prodigy may not necessarily achieve greatness as an adult.
Chen Mobai should not be arrogant because of his current achievements at school. He still needs to be humble, work hard and improve himself, and strive to become Venerable Yuanxu, rather than Master Xinji.
"Master Xinji originally had the hope of Nascent Formation, but the successive deaths of his Daoist partner and daughter dimmed his resolve, ultimately causing Nascent Formation to fail. Afterwards, he became somewhat possessed by demonic possession..."
At this point, Wenren Xuewei suddenly hesitated and stopped talking.
Chen Mobai glanced at her; he hated people who only said half a sentence.
Did Master Xinji die from a qi deviation?
"I don't know either. His records were actually heavily edited in the Immortal Sect. I have a higher authority in the Dao Academy because I cultivate the Evergreen Technique, so I know some things. In the latter half of his life after failing to Nascent Formation, he worked hard to revive his Daoist partner and daughter. The Formless Puppet was one of his attempts."
It was probably Chen Mobai's talent that had won over Wenren Xuewei these days. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly used Telepathic Message to transmit the following words to Chen Mobai's ears.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was greatly shocked. "Using Puppetry to resurrect my Daoist partner and daughter? How could such a heaven-defying act be accomplished?"
"Others may not be able to do it, but I think it's possible for Master Xinji. He is Fourth Grade professional in alchemy, medicine, Puppet Dao, bionics, cell anatomy, and spiritual science, so it's possible for him to find a path."
Wenren Xuewei shook her head. However, she originally did not believe in these things, but nine years ago, she saw that person at the Dao Academy's freshman entrance ceremony.
"But Master Xinji still passed away peacefully, so he probably didn't manage to resurrect anyone in the end, right?"
Chen Mobai reiterated that he still believed resurrection was impossible.
There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you.
Wenren Xuewei's words made Chen Mobai raise an eyebrow; he disliked people who were deliberately mysterious.
However, remembering that the last person to act mysteriously in front of him was a successor of the Divine Machine Mansion, he immediately began to humbly ask for guidance.
Chen Mobai: "Speak freely."
Wenren Xuewei: "Is Qing Nü your friend?"
Chen Mobai: "Yes, the best kind."
Wenren Xuewei: "Her appearance is exactly the same as Master Xinji's daughter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was so shocked that he froze on the spot and couldn't utter a single word.
